Heck yes, every morning; doesn't even need to sit over 10 hours.
Same as you explain.
I have the 19 Bighorn crew 4x4 also.

I have the 2019 bighorn really bad odd groaning noise from the front end!! Who has figured this out!! I’m a lady I need help 🤣

 

same here 19 Limited 4x4 offroad 6k miles

 

Same here. Limited with 1600 miles.

 

Nothing here, no noise at all with the brakes backing up or forward but I have a 19 Tradesman 2 wheel drive.

 

Wow....Wondering if there's a bulletin about this? Will find out when it goes back to the dealer.

 

My 2019 Rebel does it also. When I back out of the garage, I can hear the brakes without applying them.

 

Count me in...
less than 1000 miles 2 weeks old, and already hearing the moaning, not even applying the brakes...only in reverse, gets even louder when applying the brakes.
My Wife inside our home could hear it this morning, looked out the window as I was backing down the driveway, called me on my cell to tell me... Never had a truck, even my last Rams do this without even applying the brakes.

 

My 17 has an issue too, will tear in to it come spring.

 

I can offer some insight for all of you with this problem. I too have this issue, My 2019 ram just spent 9 days at the dealership. They determined it needs new rotors and pads. So they ordered them, told me it would be 3 days. 3 Days pass and I call, the dealer tells me they have superseded the old brake part numbers with new parts, and they are on back order until at least February 11th. So yesterday 1/14/19 they gave me back my groaning truck and will call when the parts arrive. There are STAR reports on this issue, Ram just doesn't want to issue a recall I guess. I previously owned a 2015 and 2017 ram and neither of those trucks had this issue. I started noticing it at 4000 miles, but now that it is winter its gotten really bad. After it sits for 4 or more hours its the worst. I say get your trucks to the dealer and get the parts on order at least. Just FYI my truck now has 9,100 miles on it for reference

 

Good INfo and thanks for sharing it.
Let us know how ti turns out, once it gets fixed.


Rep Points Given!
:rep:

 

2019 Laramie, started at 1800 miles with the groaning. Not sure if it is worth a trip to the dealer yet. For those who went to the dealer already, are they keeping the truck to "Recreate" the noise themselves or is the star case enough to get the process rolling?

 

They of course did not believe me so they wanted to recreate it. I waited 30 min at the dealer and told them to go back it up. Came in and said yep that's a problem. And that's how my ball got rolling. I also made them replace my squeaking console, and fix the rattling B-Pillar Trim while it was there. I like my music load and couldn't stand the rattling.

 

Yep, I have it in my 2014 RAM 1500 Big Horn. I've also had the "groaning" in other vehicles I've owned and haven't been concerned about it. The brakes work just fine otherwise. There are about 34,000 miles on the truck.

 

Although I appreciate your comment, having brake noise on your 6 year old truck has nothing to do with these brand new trucks having the issue. I also owned a 2015 ram and 2017 ram and neither of those made any brake noise.

 

Yes. I do not have this problem in Fort Worth, Texas. But, I was recently in Syracuse, NY where the temperature was much colder and after sitting all night the groaning was really bad. It seems to be temperature related. 2019 Ram Unlimited.

Me Too!!!



My 2019 Laramie Longhorn has just over 5000 miles. The brakes began this same annoying sound in reverse at 4000 miles. I decided to take it to my servicing dealer. After reading all of your similar complaints, it gives me extra support when I step up the service desk.:wavey:

 

Same exact issue here, after it sits I get that loud groaning noise coming from the back of my truck when I go into reverse!!

 

For all those with this issue, it is imperative you take it to the dealer, the only way we can help the thousands of ram owners who are not on this forum is by getting the attention of Ram by bringing this up to as many dealerships as possible. You can also contact Ram Cares and document your issue.

 

I took my 2019 to the dealer they could not duplicate (of course it didn’t sit for hours) they wouldn’t do anything to try to help. Very frustrating

 

my '17 2500HD Bighorn , nothing.................

 

Have you guys checked if your park brake is partially ON? That could be the noise youre hearing.

 

it is electronic, we have no control other than on or off.

 

It is usually caused by light rusting of the rotor surfaces... gets worst the longer it sits. Usually only groans when you first move and apply brakes, after the rust is wiped off it wont do it the rest of the day until it has time to build condensation and rust again. Cheap aftermarket rotors are the worst.

 

Rust just after one night? Parking brake is not set... I still think it is temperature related.

 

I am waiting for what i know is coming

The dealerships are going to tell some people that this is normal,
that all the 2018/2019 Rams do it

They expect that those owners having this issue are going to believe that Ram paid all their engineers $100,000s of money to build a Ram that makes noises like that while backing up in Cold weather.
No engineer would sign their name at final sign off on a project that is not built to their satisfaction & Ram would not accept it as being finished

 

I’ll add into the info here as well. 2019 Rebel with about 1500 miles. I’m hearing the groaning while backing up. Usually, like some folks have noticed, it’s only after it has sat for many hours (like overnight and throughout the day while I’’m working).

Sounds like a trip to the dealer may be in order.

Add me to the list. Pretty embarrassing, backing my shiny new 2019 up and having people look to see what is making the gawd awful sound. Going in tomorrow for my new 12" screen replacement, will have the dealer look into the brakes. Here I am5 weeks into ownership and been back to dealer 3 times for repairs.
This 2019 is nice to drive when it is working, but for all you who are looking at these new trucks and see how fancy the interiors are, new body style ect, well , the quality seems to be going downhill. My passenger door panel is already loose. Had to tap it back on properly.

 

Hi 2019Hemi-Limited,
We understand how frustrating this may be. We are available if you would like an added layer of assistance while your truck is at the dealership. Just send us a private message!

My truck just started doing it at 2,000 miles. It started right after we had a freezing rain storm come thru. Reminds me of drum brakes in the rain.

 

It is my understanding that the brake pads are going to be changed under warranty ?

 

Yep my 19 Laramie is doing it also. Especially in reverse after sitting overnight. When backing out on snow the front brakes will lock up at first. Once they stop groaning they work properly.

 

Just an update from me, after waiting for 45 days, I called the dealer to find out where my parts were, and he said they had them....... Thanks for the call huh, long story short I go in next week to get all 4 replaced, rotors and all , Will update whether it's fixed

 

Last night when I was leaving work I put my truck in reverse and let off the brakes. I gave it a little gas to get going and got the groaning sound without my foot on the brake. When I pushed on the brakes the noise got louder. Seems like the calibers are sticking or something. I even disabled backup assistance.
